The birth of a girl child should be celebrated with as much enthusiasm as that of a boy child.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, girls are considered to be a burden on their families.
This mindset has led to the practice of female infanticide and feticide, resulting in a skewed gender ratio.
Saving the girl child is crucial for achieving gender equality and ensuring the well-being of society.
Girls have the right to education, healthcare, and equal opportunities for growth and development.
Empowering girls through education and skill-building can help break the cycle of poverty and improve the standard of living.
Investing in girls’ education can also have a ripple effect on the community, as educated girls tend to marry later, have fewer children, and are more likely to invest in their children’s education.
Ending discrimination against girls requires a collective effort from all members of society, including families, communities, and governments.
Laws and policies that promote gender equality, such as the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao scheme in India, can play an important role in saving the girl child.
The future of our society depends on the well-being of our girls, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure that they are protected, valued, and given equal opportunities to succeed in life.
